There are many sharp turns and curves with more thunder clouds, racers may also jump from this curve by using the humps to cut of a ridiculous amount of the track when used in conjunction with each other. Following this, there is a straight path with a very sharp turn and edges with a thunder cloud and a longer straight path where some bouncy stars can spin around racers they come in contact with.
